TE PIPIWHARAUROA HAS PASSED AWAY.

To the people, to the supporters of Te Pipiwharauroa – Greetings. This is to tell you that our Bird is ceasing publication with this number. I know that many will be distressed and sad at the passing of our Bird since for many years it has been flying to them and they have awaited its arrival expectantly; it has become their friend and they have greeted its appearance as a legacy from those who have departed this life.

A LAMENT.

[Hymn 152, Piko nei te matenga]

1. Our heads are bowed,

Great sadness is upon us.

Son of God,

Have pity on us.

2. Our friend has gone,

Departed to the after-life,

Leaving us grieving.

Have pity on us.

WIREMU PARAONE TUREI.

In the middle of the night of Tuesday, 25th June, the Rev W Paraone Turei entered upon the long sleep. All thoughtful people are sad and suffer at hearing this bad news. Paraone was a son of the Rev Mohi Turei and Kararaina. He was a well-known elder of the Maori Church throughout New Zealand.
